It was so topical in its time yet the messages still come through today :-6

Has anyone noticed that lots of retro things are coming back? Lots of stuff listed in this thread, I'mf amiliar with, but it's because it's around again, rather than being a part of my childhood, although (scarily enough) some of this stuff was around during my childhood.
